I’m a fan of the 60’s, the 1460’s.
Yes. If France loses its colonies then it is trouble for the EU.
Some of the arguments do, but others hinge on culture and human capital retention and transmission across generation in existing communities.
Other arguments hinge on government payouts to crossers (more fiat printing), the non-taxable income many crossers generate, and remittances back across the border.
Wealth-generating for who?
1) Employers
2) Those crossing the border
3) Who else?
This sounds like it might rest on a Libertarian+David Ricardo foundation, but the problem with Ricardianism is that comparative advantage isn’t an advantage anymore when foreign nations control your Pharma, weapons, manufacturing, etc. supply lines.
And when cheaper labor drains the expertise/human capital of a community 20 years hence (e.g. now), getting back the skills to build again takes 2 generations.
My wife informed me that there is a group of people that thinks that
Vladimir Putin “owns” Bitcoin.
“What kind of people are they, dear?”
“They think that Bitcoin is bad”.
Done.
The basil and onions we grow are like not even the same food as you find in the store, and the eggs from our chickens are making me 6 egg omelettes every day…..and what’s better with omelettes than garlic?
Need help. Is this one a genius?
None of the others noticed this so young.
He investigates it every sunny evening.

Maybe!
My little one noticed the cat’s butthole the other night, and his brother never even registered it when he was young.
So we had to explain what it was and that it was poo-poo and “no touch".
I’m thinking genius.
Any of you all every grown garlic?
Do you think they’d do well in a rubbermaid wicking bed in my greenhouse?
No. But there are ways to make it less painful.
1) have your employer pay for it
2) route your credit card charges towards a frequent flyer miles card, get free club passes, and pay less/nothing for the flights
I understand that the credit card charges will not go towards rewards & bitcoin, but then neither will the fiat for the flights.
Also, the United Club has “free” food that is pretty good, and its usually more relaxed than the McD’s in the terminal.
The replication of community and family in corporate life that many seek after years of K-12 and college is a trap.
They actively tell you that you are a member of “family” or “community”. Other employees earn their living concocting and propagating these fictions.
How many of them would answer your call when you have 2 flat tires?
Young people desire the continuity of K-college in an increasingly complex lived experience.
They ask for help and often, they are given overwork, selling their wares for less than they are worth, hoping for a emotional payoff.

France controls Niger’s currency and exports yellowcake and other commodities for pennies on the dollar. France also holds the gold of many of its neighbors.
Putin just had a African summit.
France without extraction from colonies gets downgraded.
Downgrading effects EU solvency.
Parallel aggression.
The joy and peace of a Saturday morning begun with your child excited to see you after a night’s sleep is unrivaled.

I think I read it Thomas Sowell.
IIRC, the idea was to remove children from their parents and have the state indoctrinate them.

Family destruction was included in the first draft of the Communist Manifesto, Engels took it out.
Marx isn’t required for cultural Marxism. Look at Horkheimer & Adorno.
Cultural demoralization wouldn’t be called cultural demoralization, it would be called something positive. See In the First Circle by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn for the effects of numerous “positives”.
One aspect of “intentionally spreading mass confusion” was assuming that all that didn’t agree with Communism were under the fog of “false consciousness”. That and the Soviet Union not allowing publication of maps of the country.
Banks for change into dollars often does not have a fee, FYI. Especially if its a smaller bank.
